Seminar series

"Outside of Academia": #8 Swedish Defence Research Agency

Do you want to know which career paths are waiting for you outside of academia? Then listen to Johanna Qvarnström from the Swedish Defence Research Agency.

Johanna Qvarnström is working as an analytical chemist at the Swedish Defence Research Agency in Umeå. Her background is in analytical chemistry. Before switching to the industry Johanna finished her Ph.D. at Umeå University and continued her academic career as a Postdoc at UPSC. After her Postdoc Johanna joined the biotech company Karo Bio. Johanna will share her career path from academia to industry and introduce us to the Swedish Defence Research Agency. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in a networking lunch afterwards.
